Miss You Nights

I've had many times I can tell you

Times when innocence I'd trade for company

And children saw me crying

But these 'miss you nights'

Midnight diamonds stud my heaven

Southward burning like the jewels that line her place

And the warm winds that embrace me

Just as surely kissed your face

Yet these 'miss you nights'

Are the longest

(How I miss you)

How I miss you

I'm not likely to tell

I'm a man, and the cold daylight

Buys the pride I'd rather sell

All my secrets

(All my secrets)

Are a wasted affair

You know them well, thinkin' of my goin'

How to cut the thread and leave it all behind

Looking moon wards for my compass

I take each day as it arrives

(Lay down)

Lay down all thoughts of your surrender

It's only me who's killin' time

(Play down)

Play down all dreams once remembered

It's just the same, this miss you game

These 'miss you nights'

Are forever

(They're forever)
